Baked Brie en Croute (with Honey, Candied Pecans and Cranberries)

Baked Brie en Croute (with Honey, Candied Pecans and Cranberries)

I wanted to try this baked brie en croute (with honey, candied pecans and cranberries) when I saw the recipe on Olivia’s Cuisine. We are a huge brie loving family but I normally serve it with crostini and some sort of pepper jelly so I was excited to try something different. The recipe was fun to make and turned out to be really easy. I served the baked brie en croute with a two different types of crackers along with green apple slices and they paired nicely. My kids and I snacked on this baked brie recently and it disappeared quickly–we all thought it was tasty and I think it would be nice to serve at Thanksgiving or Christmas.

How to Make Baked Brie en Croute (with Honey, Candied Pecans and Cranberries)

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lay the thawed (but very cold) puff pastry on the parchment paper then place the brie wheel in the center and measure. Remove the brie; set aside.

Drizzle the honey in the center of the puff pastry (where the brie will go). Sprinkle the honey with the dried cranberries and candied pecans. Place the brie wheel directly on top of the honey, cranberries, and pecans.

Gather the puff pastry dough edges and wrap the brie wheel, gathering at the top, and pressing it shut with your fingers. Flip the brie over and place it honey, cranberry, and pecan side up.

Brush the entire pastry with the whisked egg.

    1. Myra,

      I used a 12.3 oz brie round for this recipe but you could probably use one that is a little bigger if you want.
